SA 362-6 (49.2 Ovs) vs Ind 358-5 | SCORECARD

South Africa had to claw back all night. First after Kohli and Gaikwad's twin tons. Then when Markram's brilliant 110 ended. And again when wickets tumbled just as Breetzke and Brevis had seized control. They even survived two hamstring setbacks, with de Zorzi limping back to fight on.

Yet through every twist, the Proteas stayed ice-cold. Dew helped, India's fielding faltered -- but this chase was built on South Africa's own clarity, nerve and execution.

A clinical, commanding pursuit that levelled the series and underlined their resilience and depth under pressure.
